What is a video call and why do they matter to modern businesses?

A video call is a call with both audio and visual elements. It combines the convenience and immediacy of a phone call with the benefits of face-to-face interaction.

What’s more, it’s often much more convenient to do business this way. You can reach out to colleagues and clients across the globe to catch up in a matter of a few clicks.

Best of all, the top video calling tools come with a host of features and integrations to make your life easier. Just take a look at what Dialpad Meetings has to offer.
